Do you seek to explore new cultures? These tribal communities across the world have a lot to offer

Tribals, Natives , First or Indigenous peoples, these original inhabitants call themselves by many names in their 4,000-plus unique languages and constitute about 5 per cent of the world’s population.

The original habitats revere the forest that, until the present, has protected them from outsiders and given them everything they need. They live what is called a sustainable existence, meaning they use the land without doing harm to the plants and animals that also call the forest their home.

In the following pages, gain insight into the lives of tribals from Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh and North-East India. Similarly, get a sneak peek into the lives of original inhabitants of Canada, Australia and Scotland.

Today, there is a need to celebrate their difference since diversity enriches life and culture. With rapid urbanisation across the world, this need remains all the more urgent.
